[Electrochemical therapy combined with pingyangmycin injection in the management of high-return flow venous malformation].

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of electrochemical therapy(ECT) combined with pingyangmycin (PYM) injection for the treatment of high-return flow venous malformation. Methods A total of 68 cases of the high-return flow venous malformation were retrospectively analyzed,in which 32 cases received simplely ECT,and 36 cases received ECT combined with PYM injection.The patients were followed up from 6 to 30 months.Results The effectiveness of ECT was 78％ (25/32),and of ECT combined with PYM injection was 97％ (35/36).The effectiveness of ECT combined with PYM injection was higher than that of ECT ( P ＜ 0.05 ).No serious adverse effects were encountered.Conclusions ECT combined with PYM injection is an effective method for the treatment of high-return flow venous malformation.
